Originally posted by timh Electronics don't take up much space, and some people around here already think Pentax DSLRs are too small! "High-end EVIL" is a red herring, at least until EVF's are as good as optical finders.
I used an older EVF for a couple of years before I got a grown-up camera.
There was nothing childish about your EVF camera prior to switching to a DSLR. I bought an E-P1 the first week they came out and took it with me on Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photo Walk right after. I recall there was some other photographer in our group that had just bought a Nikon D700. I remember how proud of it he was and how he loved showing it off. You could tell how much he loved the attention he got from it with his giant 24-70mm f/2.8 lens attached. Funny thing is I never saw a single photo he took that day and one of my photos won from our local group. Further, later on Scott chose my photo to feature on his blog along with other notable photos from around the world that year.
Long story short, there is no such thing as a grown-up camera. Chase Jarvis gets better results from his iPhone then that knucklehead did from his D700. I'm not exactly sure why I've seen people with DSLR's develop a superiority complex as of late with regards to mirrorless cameras, but I'm seeing more and more of it online. Use whatever you prefer. Currently for me that is K7, but as soon as a high end EVIL with built-in EVF comes out the K7 will be on eBay because I prefer EVF's; even in their current state.
